Sakura - Japanese cherry blossoms, pickled in salt, Shinshu Shizen Okoku

Salted cherry blossoms are often used in Japan to make mochi, cakes, onigiri or even chirashi sushi - to give dishes a special seasonal touch, e.g. for the sakura season. But also as a decoration of dishes for special occasions such as birthdays or other celebrations. Brewed with hot water, they can be enjoyed as a slightly salty tea. Since the blossoms are very salty, they should be `desalted` with warm water. This also turns the cherry buds into small flowers that look beautiful. A touch of `Hanami`, even in your home!
